    摘要: Inventive embodiments are directed to components, subassemblies, systems, and/or methods for continuously or infinitely variable transmissions (C/IVT). In one embodiment, a main axle is adapted to receive a shift rod that cooperates with a shift rod nut to actuate a ratio change in a C/IVT. In another embodiment, a lubricant manifold is adapted to cooperate with the main axle of the C/IVT to supply lubricant to the interior of the C/IVT. Embodiments of a drivetrain housing and housing cover plate are adapted to house components of a C/IVT and, in some embodiments, to cooperate with other components of the C/IVT to support operation and/or functionality of the C/IVT. Shift control interfaces for a C/IVT are disclosed that include, for example, a shift actuation subassembly having a translatable and rotatable shift pin collar. Mechanisms that facilitate shifting of the C/IVT are disclosed that include a shift rod and shift cam adapted to supply lubricant to the interior of the transmission.

    摘要: Inventive embodiments are directed to components, subassemblies, systems, and/or methods for auxiliary power units (APU). In one embodiment, the APU includes a source of rotational power such as a combustion engine operably coupled to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT can be coupled to a load. In some embodiments, the load is provided by a generator. In one embodiment, the APU has a control system configured to control the operation of the engine and the operation of the CVT. The control system can facilitate substantially constant speed operation of the generator in the presence of variable operation of the engine. In another embodiment, the APU includes a continuously variable accessory drive (CVAD) operably coupled to an engine. The CVAD can include a continuously variable transmission operably coupled to a generator. In one embodiment, a skew-based control system is adapted to facilitate a change in the ratio of a CVAD.

    摘要: A transmission having a power input and output that run along the same axis without having to use parallel shafting. The transmission is of the type which includes a toroidal drive and a co-axial drive, with the co-axial drive having a rotating planetary carrier that bisects the reaction path between one disk pair of the toroidal drive. With such a bisecting carrier, the co-axial drive enables power from an input shaft to be transmitted to a co-axial output shaft in a compact and space saving manner,

    摘要: In an infinitely variable transmission wherein two toric traction discs are rotatably supported opposite one another so as to define therebetween a toric cavity in which at least two motion transmitting traction rollers are disposed in engagement with the toric discs and supported by pivot trunnions, and in which each pivot trunnion is provided with a single support roller disposed on a track section and has an axial control end which is supported so as to be movable in a plane normal to the axis of the toric discs, the support rollers are engaged by track members which are tiltably supported and associated with the control ends of the trunnions so as to transmit transmission torque reaction forces to the track members for forcing the traction rollers into engagement with the toric discs and means are provided for controllably moving the trunnion control ends for initiation of a transmission ratio change.
